Imagine you're on a train, going home after a long day of work. This past week has been a little more grueling than usual as your manager has been pressuring your team to meet an important deadline. So the constant hum of the metro running along the rails along with the familiar atmosphere of the evening ride home lulls you to sleep within no time.

After what feels like only a few minutes of shut-eye, someone taps you on your shoulder. You blink your eyes open slowly, feeling a bit disorientated as your mind is still fogged with remnants of sleep. When you look up, you're met with the face of a stranger - a rather good-looking stranger.

"Sorry for waking you, but I think your stop is coming up," he says softly. "I see you on my commute home every day and I noticed you fell asleep today so I didn't want you to miss your stop."

"Oh, thank you so much," you laugh in embarrassment, looking up at the monitor in the passenger car that always displays the cart's current route. Lo and behold, you're one stop away from your designated stop.

"Here," the tall male murmurs, bringing your attention back to him.

You're confused when he hands you a small piece of folded paper. You glance down at it curiously as your fingers work to open it up. The moment you do, a small smile stretches on your lips. The stranger had sketched you while you were asleep. Distantly, you know you should be weirded out by such a discovery. If it had been any other random stranger on the metro, drawing you while you were asleep, you would have felt oddly violated. Yet, something about this sketch is so captivating. The small intricate details capture your peacefully sleeping features perfectly. It's undeniable this handsome man is gifted in visual arts.

"Thank you-" you begin to say as you look up, only to discover that the stranger had already disappeared. When you glance around in search of him, he's nowhere to be seen in the passenger car you're currently in.

A pit of disappointment sinks in your gut while you bring your attention back to the drawing. You wish you had gotten the chance to thank him for the sketch. Or to at least have caught his name. Perhaps you'll look for him during your commute home tomorrow. You suddenly perk up when you notice a small signature on the bottom right-hand corner of the sketch.
